Qin Zhan’s voice was deep and restrained, with an endless reassurance and a tenderness that one could imrse in. Bi Xia lowered her eyes, smiling slightly, "Then you have to be patient. I wasn’t as aware then as I am now... You must... take good care of it..."
Taking a deep breath, she turned her head to lean against that chest, just about to speak when she heard Qin Zhan say slowly, "I told you before, didn’t I? I have a sister."
Bi Xia nodded, "You did."
Qin Zhan smiled, "If she hadn’t died, if Third Brother hadn’t gone missing, the two of them would have been married this year."
?!
She suddenly lifted her head to look at Qin Zhan, only to see his phoenix eyes gazing at her with a slight smile, but there was a flicker in them that made Bi Xia’s heart suddenly ache.
"After my sister’s death, aside from , Third Brother was the most pained. I could take over the Qin Family, investigate the cause of her death, and avenge her, but Third Brother always told , ’Old Fourth, you’ll wait for your sister. Even if it takes a lifeti, I’ll wait for her.’"
"Jiu..." Qin Zhan called softly to Bi Xia, "Like you, I don’t believe in love, but Mother always told not to be blinded by her and Qin Zhongyang’s unhappy marriage. Happy marriages do exist, but you just have to et soone you truly want to spend a lifeti with."
"At first, I didn’t believe it, but after Third Brother told those words, I knew, such feelings do exist..."
"Mother told to believe in true love, sister told to be happy, and Third Brother told he’d wait for sister all his life, and watch with her as I marry soone whom I could be happy with for the rest of my life..." Pulling at the corners of his lips, Qin Zhan felt a bitterness in his throat, "So I listened to them, and tried to find such a feeling..."
Saying this, Qin Zhan smiled, holding Bi Xia with a mix of relief and unease, "Fortunately, you ca, my Jiu has co to my side..."
Tightly holding Qin Zhan’s hand, Bi Xia didn’t speak, instead telling him in this way that she was here.
"As you know, spiritual power, as long as one person exists, it ans there are others. Especially since this spiritual power was passed down in our country."
"For this, the country also strictly manages it, because those with spiritual power are technically very dangerous, even if they are loyal at heart, the higher-ups also worry that one day they might suddenly rebel and kill them."
"Although there are four major families in Beijing, they were actually the ancestors of spiritual power in Country C, and they still are today."
"After returning from Country Y to the Qin Family, I joined the army, a place specifically to train spiritual power, and after going through new recruit training, the higher-ups let establish..."
"Is it Junn?" Bi Xia asked softly.
Qin Zhan wasn’t surprised by Bi Xia’s knowledge, just smiled, "Yes, it’s Junn."
"Junn has a total of eleven people, and Third Brother is the deputy leader, while Little Eight is one of the mbers," Qin Zhan tugged at the corner of his mouth, "Because it’s an organization about spiritual power, it’s confidential to outsiders. All of us have another identity outside, and we can only go ho once a year, sotis during tough missions, we can’t even go ho for a single ti."
"So, those brats often joked, saying they’d retire and go live quietly after this mission."
"In the end..." His face darkened, "During that mission, we encountered a foreign organization. Originally, we were secretly infiltrating, but our whereabouts were exposed."
"What about Ji Qiutang?" Bi Xia asked, "Ji Qiutang should be involved in this matter, right?"
"Yes," Qin Zhan replied, after a long while, he slowly said, "Information leaked from Ji Qiutang’s side. Third Brother tried to compensate for the loss by coming to the front to find us, but in the end, he was left with unknown fate. When we reached the last place where Third Brother was, we found nothing but bodies, all blown to pieces by explosions, it was impossible to tell who was who."
Bi Xia frowned slightly, "Was Third Brother among them?"
"I don’t know," Qin Zhan looked ahead with a smile, speaking each word slowly, "Before we even started looking for Third Brother, we were ambushed. The remaining people sacrificed their lives to cover my escape."
Bi Xia was silent for a mont, then turned to hug Qin Zhan, "What about Little Eight? Little Eight is still alive, but his spiritual power has been destroyed, right?"
"Yes," Qin Zhan buried his head in Bi Xia’s embrace, "It was Ji Qiutang who destroyed it."
"Then Ji Qiutang..." Bi Xia paused, slowly lifting her head.
Qin Zhan sat up straight, looked deeply at Bi Xia, curling his lips into a cold smile, "I destroyed it."
